I did the claybar and ceramic coating myslef but I needed to do a partial front PPF. I was referred by my brother's friend to this shop. Spoke with Scott and made a reservation. I had my car done this morning, front bumper and headlights only. Waiting wasn't long as I was the first customer at 9am, and it was done in less than 2 hours. Super clean product and installation. Scott and Sam did a great job!

Conflicted writing this review. 4stars for tint 2 for the clear bar on the front hood Why the conflicting stars? -overall Scott the main guy is very responsive and very friendly on the phone. 5stars great customer service!! Took my brand new Red Tesla Model 3 there when it was not even a week old after reading plenty of yelp reviews of shops in the orange area to get: -3m tint on all windows -clear bra on front, sides, door step -cost was very competitive, his pix on his site are awesome. -scott said it would take 2 biz days... no prob Note: their shop in Sep 2018 is undergoing major renovation so there was a lot of dust and construction in the front of the shop. (That should have been a red flag for me to wait to get this done). Because of all the dust. When I picked up my car a few things were a total bummer: Tint Job: All windows 35% and 1 sheet tint for the back (you dont want it to be a split sheet for the back window) 1. There was water spot overspray all over my car after the tint job -all other tint places i went to in the past..they cleaned my car after so it was like or better than when i dropped it off post tint. 2. There was white stuff that looked like dry drywall white residue on my brand new black car mats from from going in/out for the install from their shoes. -again they could have wiped that off before I picked it up.. thats just being professional. 3. The overall tint job itself was very good. Even cuts around the window, no bubbles at all. Very happy with that part. Clear Bra: 2 star. -front wrap -side doors -door steps Why 2 stars?: -they Had to do the front wrap twice (second time because I asked) -they scratched my brand new car hood all over the place 1. The day I took my car home, I turned on my garage florescent light in the evening and there was circular scratches ALL over the front hood of my brand new model 3. And it stopped right at the clear bra top. The scratched were obviously NOT there before... my car was brand freeking new. -i was super pissed -i took some pix and sent scott videos and he said to bring it in so he could buff it out. So what looks like happened is someone who cleaned my car prior and after the clear bra install had some debris all over their microfiber cloth (maybe from all the dust of their front renovation or poor washing of their application cloth?) it scratched my whole entire brand new hood. -scott said he would buff out the scratches no prob. -1hr later he said he would have to take off the clear bra, buff all scratches underneath and put on a new one. Thats what i suspected needed to happen in the first place. So I picked up the car the next day. He apologized for this and paid for my uber. Its unfortunate that this happened overall. Scott's a nice dude. I would not go back or tell friends. -i can still see some circular scratches on my hood under florescent lights... im not bringing my car back there... -This maybe a different experience for others prior to their renovation or after....

Where can I start? Scott is amazing he is friendly and lighting fast with his work. From start to finish I have nothing but a compliment for his amazing work. He is the legit guy that you go to if you care about the car, no one in OC can beat him at his work. I would recommend everyone to come here and get your tint and ppf done, he will explain every little single details about the job he is about to perform.

Took my car to get partial front 3M. Amazing job. Only Nobert from Crystal Auto Shields can do the clear bra wrap like these guys can. No bubbles, no particles trapped inside and the installation was flawless. Good job Scott and your team.. props!

Alright, from other reviews you'll see that Scott does awesome job. But what about after service is over and you have issues? Well that's me. After getting my clear bra and windows tinted, two weeks passed and I went to go get a car wash. After car wash, I pulled out and heard a small "clink" noise. I pulled over right away and realized that i hit a metal object on the road. Then I look at my front right bumper and saw a dime sized damage on headlight area (pix). I cried and cried inside and mad as heck for not seeing a metal object on the road. I took few photos and sent it to Scott. He called me within 10 minutes and told me to bring it in. He said the "cut" is too deep so he gave me few options. Following morning I took the car in and he went to work. He patched up the damage and put another clear bra around the damaged area. When I went to pick up my car, the damaged area looked unnoticeable!! Unless you go to inspect the car in detail, it was invisible! He did a fantastic job! And he only charged me for a small, I mean small, labor fee. Scott said he totally empathized with what happened and he would've been upset about the situation. So he wanted to help fix it. Dude, Scott!!!! You made a life time customer out of me!!! Thank you so so so much and still appreciate what you did!

When it comes to anything related with the car.. I AM picky. Very picky and I'm very much alright with that. With that said- Scott hands down is a person whom I trust, whom I can bring my car to- without hesitation at any moment when necessity arises. There are many "skilled" people and choices out there, but he is different. Special. Sincere. Responsible. Detail-oriented. So on.. You name it. But with great overall balance too- words can't explain all I trust him that much. Some pictures of his work on my rare perhaps not so easy to work on 9-5 Aero.

Scott is great. He was on time, quick and got the job done perfectly the paint protection film for my Mercedes. Highly recommend!

Never have had an issue getting my windows tinted at this business. Quality of film tint is GREAT! I had my windows tinted on one of my previous cars at a different location before I found out about this business and was disappointed because the film that the other location used, within a couple of years it faded pretty bad. You do pay a tad bit more here BUT it's worth every penny, film won't fade in time.

*** Dude, I bought a bra last year that I wear everywhere now! *** That is what I tell all my friends. It really is the new "wonder bra". It supports, it enhances, it's sheer, it's inexpensive and it's clear. That's the best thing about it - nobody knows I'm even wearing it. So now I wear it everywhere I go, and I am damn proud of it! (lol) How much is this "wonder bra" for guys, you ask? It is just $300! Introducing the "Clear Bra" paint protection film for your beloved. It was originally made by 3M, but there are other manufacturers. Auto enthusiasts from coast to coast look for a good shop that can apply this bra technology well. Advance Auto are experts. How it works: a transparent film (like a heavy duty shrink wrap) is applied to your ride to protect it from rock chips, bugs, and tar. They apply it to which ever part that you're concerned about (like front bumper, fenders, hood, head lamps, air dam, side mirrors). Film is cut to fit car contours then applied to adhere permanently. They even sell a $10 spray-on that protects bra from UV sun rays. The result: no paint chips, easy cleaning, no touch-ups necessary. *** So fellas, get a bra and wear it well. You'll thank me later. ;p ***

Scott and his team installed paint protection film (PFF)/clear bra on my new 2020 Mazda Miata over the weekend (Full Front Package, + rocker panels + portions of rear fender/quarter panels). I shopped around extensively before deciding to go with Advance Auto Engineering. There were actually several shops around me that were much closer and similarly priced, but based on the referral from my friend (he has gotten several cars worked on by Scott), stellar online reviews, and several direct conversations with Scott, I ultimately decided it would be worth it to drive 32 miles down from Glendale to Fullerton for this job. And I am so glad I did select their shop! Their work was superb. The PPF came out excellent and you can't even tell that it's there, very impressed!! And they only use top-tier PPF... in my case they used the top-rated Xpel film. Scott and his team were very meticulous and careful with every single detail, and they went above and beyond to make sure the application was done correctly and as perfect as possible. When I brought the car to the shop, I knew I wanted to at least get the Full Frontal Package done, but wasn't 100% sure which (if any) additional parts of the car I wanted to get PPF installed on... and this is where Scott's experience and honesty shined through: he didn't try to upsell me on any products or services I didn't need... he went over all the edges and parts of the car and explained the most common areas rock chipping can occur. And as I mentioned earlier, his pricing is very very competitive... He was one of the lowest quotes i got out of the 10 or so shops I contacted. Scott delivered my finished car on the day he had promised (he gave me estimate of 1-2 days, and got my car back at end of day 2). Just like he had done in the beginning before installation, he went over every detail that they had worked on when I came to pick up car. You can tell that Scott truly cares for his customers and is passionate and knowledgeable about his craft... this is rare in ANY industry nowadays. And Scott was always responsive to my emails, texts, and calls through the process, from start to finish. PPF/clear bras can be very DIFFICULT, and it's a job that most DIY'ers (and even many professional shops) can mess up. If you live in Los Angeles/OC (or heck even outside that), you need to get the job done here with Scott. I believe it will be hard to find a shop that can do PPF as well, as efficiently, and as honestly as Scott and his crew. They stand by their work too, my PFF has 10 year warranty!

As we dropped my friend's Lexus IS off at 9:20am, Scott Kim greeted us with a smile. He's a very nice guy, honest and straightforward. He'll tell you the facts that you need to know and answers any questions fully. My friend decided to get the clear bra with coverage of 24" on the hood and fenders. The clear bra that she wanted also covers the full front bumper, fog lights, head lights, and side mirrors. We left and went to our workout class at 24 Hour Fitness in Pasadena, then had lunch at Savoy Kitchen. Scott called around 1pm and said the car was ready to be picked up. We picked up the car about a half hour later and the clear bra installation looked flawless. Scott was still getting a few small air bubbles out of the clear bra after we arrived. He really pays close attention to detail. He showed us how to take care of the clear bra. You should keep it waxed and try to wipe off any bird poop as quickly as possible because it may stain the clear bra if left on too long. Scott said not to wash the car for 3 days to let the clear bra material dry. He recommended a product called ProtectAll to keep the clear bra waxed and showed us how to use the product. Overall, a great experience with Advanced Auto Engineering. I posted a few pictures. I highly recommend Scott and his business. He was about $100 less than other quotes I received from clear bra installers. Cheers!
